Opie uses your same AWS credentials that the AWS CLI uses. It will look for your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key located at ~/.aws/credentials`. If you are already using the AWS CLI, then you shouldn't need to do anything additional.

You can read more about how to set this up in the AWS CLI Getting Started Guide
